i had a great first yoga teacher training. my teacher was guru-like, my classmates were lovely... but very soon after it was clear that some people felt empowered and.... others didn't... that was/still is a shame. the simple reason - a lack of true anatomy knowledge. that we are not all the same. this lack creates haves and have nots. gurus and the rest. the rockstars and the forever students. and... and it is totally avoidable.

This is the last in our mini 3-part series on "why we meditate".

Because very few (even the experienced) seem to have an idea.

This week, we focus on "being with the moment"... and riding it, whatever happens, no big deal.

So many gurus and spiritual teachers seem so relaxed and chill.. how do they get there?

To 30 mins - Freedom! Dao De Jing Chapter 21 From 30 mins - Q&A, Why do gym bodies find yoga hard?
